Bingo! Our business is actually “decent”....not as good as the last 5 years, but it does not warrant 20% cuts. I’m in sales and look at the books daily...we are making money and not even CLOSE to losing money.

The thing that ticks me off, is 3 of the 4 owners of my company voted for this Spit head! They way i look at it, they should take the cut for their stupidity!

Well, there is no telling what will happen, if we go to a European standard, which they are trying to do, there will be debtor prisons. Not the free ride bankruptcy that was modeled after the biblical jubilee year.

In short, I guess I agree with your wife. Better to be poor than a prisoner.

Sounds like you are in a pretty good place to me.
Blessings.

PS wheat and rice are very cheap, and practically store themselves...

Congress needs to pay hourly, not by salary.

Senators and reps should have to clock in when they arrive at the capital, and clock out when they leave. Shouldn’t get a penny for time they’re on TV or campaigning for the next office. No money for wasted time. Not one dime.

Shouldn’t get paid for travel time, just time they are in their official offices or on the floor of the congress.

One of the good things about sales: I only get a reduction in pay if I don’t sell something. Everyone wants a salaried position because of the “security” that it entails. Well, now you see what kind of security that was...
Don’t get me wrong, when I worked for state government, we had to take furloughs when the budget was tight, but someone forgot to tell my creditors to cut me some slack, so I know what it feels like.
